This analysis determines the concentration of ethanol in an authentic orange juice sample suspected of having been spiked with Vodka (40 gram EtOH/100 cc). A gas chromatography method (AOAC Methods of Analysis Section 27.1.09, Method 935.20) is used for the analysis. A control sample comprised of orange juice purchased from a supermarket indicates a low but measureable concentration of ethanol, less than one percent of the ethanol concentration measured in the client sample.
